Awesome flight

For those of you who stayed home to watch TV rather than come to the field yesterday, and know about being in the right place at the right time..... read on.

Bill and Thomas helped me work on the 2-33 for a few hours and I then noticed that the while the wind was strong the sky was quite clear so Tim and I towed them up-wind though moderate to heavy turbulence (almost like rotor but not) leaving them in an area that seemed like it had lift, but I wasn't expecting them to stay up for long. I landed (twice) and we got the golf cart to retrieve them, and we waited and waited but no sign of them until about 20 minutes later I spotted them over 91 and quite high which turned out to be about 7000'.

"The tow was rougher than anything I have ever experienced at Post Mills. But off tow we went to 7k over Rt 91, and then picked up a cloud street which took us almost to exit 2 on 89. Into the wind, no circling, and we climbed up to 8.5k. I have never experienced such a cloud street. I told Bill that he will probably not experience anything like that in the next 5 years........"
